The term latihan kejiwaan is an Indonesian term meaning ‘spiritual training’ or ‘spiritual exercise’. The founder of Subud, Bapak Muhammad Subuh Sumohadiwijojo (Bapak), explained that the latihan is a method of worshipping God that is open to all mankind and whose source is the power of God. There’s many a story of members who have stopped latihan just at the moment when something difficult or hard is surfacing, or members who have swallowed that disturbance and gone on with the pretty, but fake , latihan . Thinking about the latihan and what you experience in the latihan can and will inevitably come afterwards. During the latihan , the focus is on letting the thinking mind go and surrendering, and then witnessing what you experience. The latihan is the reappearance of a primordial Power hidden within human beings and all creatures. This Power manifests itself in spontaneous bodily movements and utterances, a mood of tranquility and joy, clarity of awareness, and love for the Divine. At the heart of Subud is the Latihan Kejiwaan , commonly known as latihan . This spiritual exercise facilitates a profound connection between the individual and the divine, enabling alignment with one’s inner self in resonance with the power of God. ” Latihan ” is a commonplace word in Indonesia meaning any form of exercise or drill such as physical exercise, learning lessons at school, or carrying out a drill in the army.
